Italian and international shipowners, CEOs from shipping, trading and
brokerage companies, key investors in shipping, bankers, consultants and
entrepreneurs, classification societies, financial institutions, regulators
and the media will gather at this prestigious conference and where an
exchange of views, visions and valuable information will make this forum
another unforgettable and meaningful experience.

The strength in depth of a
mature maritime cluster has helped Italy’s shipowners, shipyards, brokers,
banks, ports and growing international service businesses to survive the
global crisis. They have done that by reaching out around the globe. Italian
expertise and flair is in demand globally, as are Italian ships.

cluster come to Rome and meet the people that matter. In the free flowing
yet structured Mare Forum ideas and contacts join and feed on each other to
create visions and new opportunities.

Rome is a great city and Mare Forum in Rome will bring together the best of
Italy’s marine businesses and top shipping players with their global
counterparts. Be part of that, enjoy it, and go home with a valuable Italian
connection.
